To do our part to fight terrorism, we tracked down the results from today’s World Cup at Telluride, one of the Olympic qualifiers for the Snowboardcross team.

We’ve always had a soft spot for Ross Powers. Who doesn’t love a good old Vermont boy who can hold his liquor and win Olympic medals!? Well, Ross is back on the hunt for gold, this time in SBX. He’s scored himself a spot on the US Snowboard SBX B team, has a facebook fan [...]

Luke Mathison has recovered from the Airwalk flames and is now riding for Rome. Don’t know what Rome is? They’re not a company, but a snowboard syndicate, whatever the hell that means.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Jay Loughnane is a writer for Teenvoice.com. He once wrote me a nasty letter once about an article I wrote about last year’s X Games, which garnered quite a response from Yo Beat’s huge public. Always one to welcome work I don’t have to do myself, when [...]

For some reason, ESPN decided that it would be a good idea to bring the X Games to the east coast this year. Actually, the real reason is that American Skiing Company bid [...]

Are you totally sick of interviews yet?
Actually, I haven’t had many lately. This year it’s been real mellow, not like last year. I don’t have people waking me up at seven in the morning and stuff, like last year.
